Hello,
Can someone help me diagnose what's going on with my script? Part of it
is below. I need to open a file, read its contents, do something to its
contents if a condition is true, then write new data to the end of the
contents, of the open file. It's doing it. It does add what I want it to
add, but, it adds it hundreds and hundreds of times, not just one time,
which is all I want.
...
Dir.glob("*.ps").each do |$psfile|
$filetime = File.ctime($psfile)
$filetime = $filetime.to_s.gsub!(/ -.*$/, "")
file_contents = File.read($psfile)
file_contents.scan(/\%\%Pages: (\d{1,5})[ ]+\n/) do #look for
pagecount in file
totalpages = $1 #put that count in
variable
end
if (totalpages.to_i % 2) !=0 then #if odd, then add
blank pg
totalpages = totalpages.to_i + 1
file_contents.gsub!(/.*$/, "\%\%Blank page for Asura.\n\%\%Page:
#{totalpages.to_i}\nshowpage\n")
end
File.open("#{$psfile}", "a") { |f| f.print file_contents }
end
...
Thanks.
